#Harry and Lily

[justhinako]

I'll die on the hill that Harry James Potter canonically looks a lot like Lily Evans-Potter, and the only reason they see James is because he's 1 a boy, 2 that hair, 3 height (and he's not even as tall as james was). I WILL BURN ON THIS HILL DO YOU HEAR ME PEOPLE!!!!

okay there's the possibility that harry james potter may have looked like James but as he grew up its all Lily.

How would the Harry’s react to each other their girls having nightmares?

OOOOOO oh gosh, we're just gonna make me sob today huh???

Teach Me Harry: oh this man kisses you awake, no doubt. Kisses to your cheek, arm, shoulder, neck. Whispers off, "Hey, hey. Bee, you're all right. I'm here, okay? Deep breath." and then he suggests you have a snack or watch something funny to distract you!!

Mine Harry: is about the same but he almost takes the nightmares personally ALSFJDSF like he's almost offended he wasn't able to protect you from them, so he's more sullen with his comforting. And promises you that whatever might have scared you, he will always protect you from

OftM Harry: He whispers your name over and over until you wake, squeezing your hip encouragingly and telling you you're all right. To just take a deep breath, it was just a dream!

iFall Harry: oooooooo I think he kind of shakes you awake and pulls you into his arms and speaks very softly!! Asks if you want to talk about it, maybe help figure out what's bothering you!! Why you had the dream!! And then cuddles you back to sleep, your head on his chest!

404 Harry: He definitely wakes you up a little less cute and a little more, "Why are you fucking kicking and thrashing, can you calm the fuck down?" and when you wake, you tell him, and he's all, "Oh...sounds awful. Would make a good slasher movie though," and you just roll your eyes but you're laughing alsjfsdf

Angel Harry: well, he's your guardian angel, and I believe he spends all night fighting off bad dreams for you 😗

Hey, I was rereading eyes glistening fics (again) and taught if i could ask you for a lily-harry moment. Especially after Harry sees Ginny with Dean and realizes his feelings for Ginny.

"rereading" always makes me so happy! I'm so glad you enjoyed these fics!

Now, I can't exactly fit a Lily&Harry moment there for plot-canonish-reasons (and Lily and Harry discuss his feelings for Ginny at other points), but here's something that could have happen if we can just pretend Lily is a professor at Hogwarts during HBP.

***

Right. Left. Down the hall until another left.

A distant corner of his mind knows the path to the Common Room, something for which Harry will be grateful later; there aren’t any coherent thoughts in his mind at this moment—what if he punches Dean—no, forget Dean, what if he is the one kissing him Ginny instead—what if instead of Ron finding Ginny and Dean, he would find Ginny and Harry locked together, lips crashing in a glorious kiss—no, he doesn’t want to consider Ron in that hall at all, let the tapestry shut down so there is only him and Ginny—

“Harry!”

He jumps, heart racing for another reason now; his hand is almost grabbing his wand—for defence or attack, Harry isn’t sure—when he realises it wasn’t Ron that yelled his name.

Professor Potter joins them, which is only slightly better. “You two are nearly breaking curfew—” She pauses. Ron is walking past her without any glance, his mind clearly away, turning to the stairs that leads to the Common Room. “Is everything okay?” She asks, concerned now.

Harry nods quietly, though he never felt before things were less okay; his mum doesn’t seem impressed.

“Are you sure? Are you two fighting?”

That unlocks Harry’s tongue, panic filling him. 

 “Why? Does it look like Ron is mad at me?”

Ron can’t know, can he? He doesn’t read minds, he couldn’t have glanced at Harry’s face and known which thoughts were harbouring inside his mind, very colourful images of Ginny— 

His mother’s eyes wide, alarmed. “No, he looks mad with the world. Harry—are you two in trouble?”

Warm brown eyes flash in his mind; the shape of a smirk on Ginny’s lips; her hair whipping the air as she turns around. “No.”

She doesn’t look convinced; Harry wishes he had learned to lie better.

“We just—” Just give her the truth, he orders himself. The plain truth without any of the realisations that came with it. He tries to look unbothered. “We were coming back from practice and—we tumbled upon Ginny a-and Dean and they—you know.”

She sighs. “I bet Ron didn’t—oh.” Her gaze is fixated upon his face; Harry is sure none of his feelings are showing up there, but she is watching him with eyes that are too maternal and not at all Professor Lily Potter. “I see.”

“There is nothing to see,” he mumbles, but then his mother is already dropping any pretence of professionalism.

“Do you want to come to my quarters?” Lily offers kindly. “We can share some biscuits, perhaps a tea and we can talk—”

“Professor—I’m not discussing feelings with you.”

“I thought you said there was nothing to see?”

“I—” She just blinks calmly, and then a lost part of his mind has a sudden realisation. “You are not surprised.”

“What?”

“You—Ginny—you already knew how I feel.” That cannot be right. Until fifteen minutes ago, Harry was sure that all his feelings for Ginny were very brotherly, he had not considered anything, except—his mind had been exceptionally quick to draw all those scenarios with her, almost as if they were already drafted in a dream that he didn’t remember having, only that he woke up the next morning in an excellent humour…

His mum would look apologetic if her eyes weren’t betraying her amusement. “Harry…”

“No.”

“Yes. For quite a while now.”

“Then—” He thinks about all the time he and Ginny spent together over the summer; his face flushes with the deep implications of how stupid he must have looked, but then he reaches for a way out. “It couldn’t be that obvious, or else… I am alive.”

If any of these thoughts living rent free on his mind had been so clear, Ron would have skinned him alive; that kiss they had just witnessed between Ginny and Dean was looking more and more tamer each time Harry rebuilt that scenario in his mind.

His mum looks confused. “Why wouldn’t you be? It’s not a disease, it won’t kill you.”

“If it were a disease, you would have a potion for it.”

Her lips break in a smirk. “If there was a potion—would you take it?”

The right answer, Harry is sure, is yes. No more conflict. Then he wouldn’t betray anyone, then there would be no reason for him and Ginny to snuck behind a tapestry, hands linked, sharing a giggle over their smartness; he wouldn’t get closer, place strands of her hair behind her shoulder, and she definitely wouldn’t tilt her head, wouldn’t kiss him…

“I guess not,” his mother says, once again reading him easily. She pats his shoulder. “Go to bed, Harry. Things will look brighter in the morning.”

Harry doubts it. In the morning he will still have feelings for his best friend’s sister, who is currently dating someone else. No, he needs to move on, or else just bury deep his feelings for Ginny — could he do it? Just turn off that I-fancy-her button that had been quietly beeping in the back of his mind until its alarm rang gloriously that night, absolutely refusing to crawl back to the depths of his ignorance?

He can’t, and this just puts him in the worst dilemma ever.

And also, how old is too old to cry on your mother’s shoulder?

“Mum,” he begins, one of those few times where he calls her like that at school. “That offer of biscuits and tea is still up?”

She hugs him, and Harry decides he will never be too old for it. “Of course.”

She thinks is a game. He doesn't 📷

It just kills me sometimes how much stuff Harry and Albus have in common...  and not just the easy stuff. Like yeah, they both wear glasses, they both have bird companions, they were both in Gryffindor... but there’s even more than that! 

Both Albus and Harry are half-bloods, and specifically half-bloods whose father is pureblood (Percival, James) and mother is Muggle-born (Kendra, Lily). Both Lily and Kendra were either directly or indirectly killed by their own children. Both men first showed romantic interest in foreigners (Gellert, Cho). Both of them have best friends that are underrated severely either by the narrative/canon or by the fandom (Elphias and Ron). And both of them ended up owning a Deathly Hallow for many years.

Personally I love exploring their possible connection/bonding through talking about their mothers, who had such a big influence on both their lives and in such different ways, but we’re not short on material. ^^

After taking Sirius in from his abusive family, and seeing just how much that abuse traumatized him, I think James Potter would murder petunia evans for what she did to his son.

And that’s not to say that Lily would not, she quite literally died for her son.

Just imagine being a James potter, who’s parents always surrounded him with love, in fact, they had so much love to give that they took in your best friend and treated him as their own.

Now imagine dating the love of your life, and imagining a future together, a future where you got to be those parents for your son’s friends, especially the ones who needed it. And now.

Imagine your life getting ripped away as you have to watch your son endure what your best friend did.

He would go fucking Feral

sorry...

[toorumlk]

a beautiful little family.

He was about to go home, about to return to the place where he had had a family […] The life he had lost had hardly ever seemed so real to him as at this moment, when he knew he was about to see the place where it had been taken from him. (chapter 16, dh)

[freedomfireflies]

what are each of the Harry's love languages?? ♥️

OOOOO

Teach Me Harry: has to be physical touch right??? Which we love for him

Mine Harry: Quality time maybe because he so rarely gets to just be with her!!

OftM Harry: …..gifts, 1000000% TOO EASY

iFall Harry: maybe words of affirmation?? I feel like (since he’s based on real Harry) he wants to encourage her, and also wants to make sure HE’s doing the right thing, too! And not overthinking!! (but we also know he has a praise kink hehe) (and I can also see acts of service)

404 Harry: I think acts of service only because he so rarely wants to do something for someone else HAHAHA so if he does them for her, he means it! (But also physical touch, too maybe??)

Angel Harry: ooooooooooooooooooooooooo this one is tough hm….maybe physical touch? Since it’s so rare for angels? And he indulges in her every chance he gets!! I mean that man begged to kiss her after knowing her for like 20 minutes HAHAH but also since he’s a guardian angel, I can see him magically having them all AKSKAS
